Fire is a chemical reaction involving rapid oxidation or burning of a fuel. It needs three elements to occur

138) Fuel

Fuel can be any combustible material – solid, liquid, or gas. Most solids and liquids become a

139) Oxygen

Oxygen the air we breathe is about 21 percent oxygen. Fire only needs an atmosphere with at least 16
percent oxygen.

140)Heat

Heat is the energy necessary to increase the temperature of the fuel to a point where sufficient vapors
are given off for ignition to occur.

142)Flash Point

Flash Point is the lowest temperature at which a fuel produces enough vapors to ignite in the presence
of a heat source.

143) Dust

Dust consists of solid particles and is created by such operations as grinding or sieving of solid materials,
controlled detonations and various drying processes.

144) Fumes

Fumes are finely particulate solids which are created by condensation from a vapor, very often after a
metal has been converted to the molten state. Fumes are usually highly toxic.
145) Gases

Gas is the formless chemical which occupies the area in which it is enclosed. There are many toxic gases
used in industry, such as chlorine.

146) Mist

Mist consists of finely suspended droplets formed by condensation from a gas or the atomizing of a
liquid or from aerosols.

147) Vapors

known as a molecule. EX. OXYGEN, The term molecule can also be used to describe a substance that is
made up of more than one type of atom, water is example.

157) Compound

A mixture is a term used to describe a substance that is made up of more than one type of molecule. EX.
WATER

In confined space rescue operations, horizontal rescue equipment is crucial for safely extracting
individuals from tight spaces. Some essential horizontal rescue equipment includes:

1. Rescue harnesses: Designed for horizontal movement, these harnesses allow rescuers to safely
transport individuals through confined spaces.
2. Webbing and ropes: Used for creating a horizontal lifeline or anchor point, these are vital for
supporting the rescuer and victim during the rescue process.

3. Pulleys and blocks: These mechanical devices help change the direction of pull or lift, making it easier
to maneuver in tight spaces.

4. Stretchers and rescue boards: Specially designed for horizontal movement, these help stabilize and
transport individuals through confined areas.

5. Confined space rescue carts or skates: These are used to transport individuals horizontally through
tight spaces, reducing the risk of further injury.

Remember, proper training and expertise are essential when using this equipment for confined space
rescues. Always follow safety protocols and guidelines!
